ABSTRACT
Aim To study the effects of aspirin on increasing the atherosclerotic plaque stability and its possible mechanisms.Methods The hyperlipidemic atherosclerotic model was generated in male New Zealand rabbits given high fat diet and endothelial abrasion of abdominal aorta.These rabbits were then treated with aspirin 5~20 mg?kg-1 for 4 weeks.At experimental end,the plaques were evoked into rupture by injection of Russell's viper venom and histamine.Areas of thrombosis on atherosclerotic aorta were determined by image analysis,morphologic character of plaque rupture was examined by light microscope,the protein expression of macrophages was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the mRNA expression of COX-2 and MMP-2 was determined by hybridization in situ,respectively.Results Aspirin at doses of 5~10 mg?kg-1 was able to inhibit thrombosis on atherosclerotic plaque(P
